Devi , in Elephant kills 80-year-old US tourist in Zambia

That's so sad. People do tend to forget that this kind of thing is dangerous. The risks are low but they're definitely there.

I'd like to know what happened before the video started and if the tour guide was breaking any protocols.

Great article, thanks!

livus , in What World Central Kitchen does and why the attack that killed 7 volunteers in Gaza matters

Since then, WCK has organized food relief operations in the wake of disasters — both human-made and natural — in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Zambia, Peru, Cuba, Uganda, the Bahamas, Cambodia as well as Ukraine.

WCK made its U.S. debut in August 2017 by working with the American Red Cross to provide thousands of meals to survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Texas.

At first I thought this headline was written by a pirate who was accusing me in particular of wanting to shave heads and lock kids in cages.

While it may not have been their direct intention to murder relief workers, the relief withdrawal certainly plays to Israel’s advantage.

phoneymouse ,

I mean, at this point haven’t enough innocent people died to satiate Israel’s thirst for blood? 1200 Israelis died. 30,000 innocents and now relief workers. Israel is even killing hostages themselves. It’s all so damn senseless. What the hell are they trying to achieve? What ever it is, it isn’t justified.

pennomi ,

Very close to 33,000 now, out of 2.1 million total residents, or 1.57% of all citizens. That is a terrifyingly high number.

livus ,

It is. In under 6 months it's already halfway to the percentage in the Bosnian Genocide, which was in 2 years.

DarkShaggy ,

Don't encourage them!!!

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

It definitely was. This was a precision strike.

pennomi ,

I mean there’s a lot of reasons why it could’ve been an accident. Most likely a breakdown in communication channels that mark the target as off-limits. Could also be intentional, of course.

But even IF it was an accident, it shows that Israel is not responsible enough to have these weapons, and the US should immediately stop sending more.

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

Most likely a breakdown in communication channels that mark the target as off-limits.

I mean that'd be possible if it was one time, but nope. More than 200 aid workers have been murdered by the IDF in Gaza.

Madison_rogue , in A Former Maryland Governor Ignored Warnings About Mega-Ships

In 1980, when a ship collided with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida, killing thirty-five people, a top state engineer said the Key Bridge could not withstand a similar crash. “I’m talking about the main supports, a direct hit — it would knock it down,” the official reportedly told the Baltimore Sun.

Seems ignoring the warning signs for the bridge is a long standing tradition amongst Maryland politicians.

Fuck Larry Hogan. No idea how Marylanders decided to elect a fucking Republican for so long. Incumbency bias has never had such a good example.

I think it's important that this article mentions this nonsensical movement called effective altruism.

morphballganon , in Everyone got duped by Sam Bankman-Fried's big gamble

Cool.

Now do the insurrectionist.

Well, the court that put him in prison very much did not get duped

style99 , in Trump is about to get $3 billion richer after deal is approved to take his company public. But it won’t solve his cash crunch | CNN Business
@style99@kbin.social avatar

The number of Truth Social’s US monthly active users on iOS and Android is down 39% year-over-year, according to Similarweb data shared with CNN earlier this month. Truth Social remains much smaller than X (formerly Twitter), which is also shrinking but at a slower pace.

And yet Trump Media is being valued north of $6 billion on a fully diluted basis, which includes all stocks and options that could be converted to common stock, according to Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida.

Ritter said the current market price is hard, if not impossible, to justify.

“It is grossly overvalued,” said Ritter. “It qualifies as a meme stock for which the price is divorced from fundamental value…Meme stock investors are usually buying on the basis of the greater fool theory of investing: It is overvalued today, but I hope to make money selling it to an even greater fool tomorrow at an even higher price.”

This is the story of Trump's entire life.
